Whel why he had the bike took a part he decied to put some new plugs in it! Whel he started on it and never finshed! He had took the tank of the airbox of and everything and didnt cover it good! So now the head has water standind in ports 1 and three! I thik the valves are closed so i hope no water got into the motor! What shud i do? Where can a get a rebuild kit for it? Any help wud be nice......

no, dry it out and do the dam thing. Stop worrying.
The more you let the water sit there the worse things may get....

stick some dry rags in there and soak the water up, make sure your key is in the on position with gasoline in the tank, and hit the little black button on the right clip-on.............VROOM, Honda reliability!
